Turning diagnosis into treatment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Rochelle Mozlin, Associate Clinical Professor of Optometry at the State University of New York, spoke about her research on vision problems among urban adolescents at risk for dropping out of school, and the difficulties in delivering treatment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>In two inner city high schools, 52% of the students tested failed Mozlin&#8217;s vision screening<\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Only 17 of the 62 students received the vision care they needed.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Turning diagnosis into treatment proved difficult, because parents and students usually failed to follow-up in spite of repeated offers of free services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you suspect your child has a learning difficulty, <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\" target=\"_blank\">contact an eye doctor<\/a> near you, who can diagnose and treat any undiagnosed visual condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-children\/teachers-guide-to-vision\/which-eye-conditions-can-affect-learning\/\">Which Eye Conditions Can Affect Learning?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"practice-search-widget\">\n\t\t<h3>Find a Vision Therapy Eye Doctor Near You<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t<form class=\"practice-search-form practice-search-form-widget\" action=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/results\/\" method=\"get\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"page\" class=\"practice-search-page\">\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_latitude\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"address_longitude\">\n\n\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"address\" class=\"practice-search-address\" placeholder=\"City, Surburb or Address\" value=\"\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"distance\" value=\"100\" class=\"practice-search-distance\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<button type=\"submit\" class=\"practice-search-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 19 19\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.6796 0.130005C9.15708 0.130059 7.66615 0.5646 6.38198 1.38258C5.09781 2.20057 4.07373 3.36803 3.43004 4.74783C2.78634 6.12763 2.54976 7.66246 2.74808 9.17205C2.9464 10.6816 3.57139 12.1033 4.54964 13.27L0.729639 17.08C0.6364 17.1732 0.562439 17.2839 0.511979 17.4058C0.461519 17.5276 0.435547 17.6581 0.435547 17.79C0.435547 17.9219 0.461519 18.0524 0.511979 18.1743C0.562439 18.2961 0.6364 18.4068 0.729639 18.5C0.917942 18.6883 1.17334 18.7941 1.43964 18.7941C1.5715 18.7941 1.70207 18.7681 1.82389 18.7177C1.94571 18.6672 2.0564 18.5932 2.14964 18.5L5.99964 14.62C7.35406 15.6038 8.98566 16.1324 10.6596 16.13C12.7814 16.13 14.8162 15.2871 16.3165 13.7869C17.8168 12.2866 18.6596 10.2517 18.6596 8.13C18.6596 6.00827 17.8168 3.97344 16.3165 2.47315C14.8162 0.97286 12.7814 0.130005 10.6596 0.130005H10.6796ZM10.6796 14.13C9.49295 14.13 8.33291 13.7781 7.34622 13.1188C6.35952 12.4595 5.59049 11.5225 5.13636 10.4261C4.68224 9.32975 4.56342 8.12335 4.79493 6.95946C5.02644 5.79558 5.59788 4.72648 6.437 3.88736C7.27611 3.04825 8.34521 2.4768 9.5091 2.24529C10.673 2.01378 11.8794 2.1326 12.9757 2.58673C14.0721 3.04085 15.0092 3.80989 15.6685 4.79658C16.3277 5.78328 16.6796 6.94332 16.6796 8.13C16.6796 9.7213 16.0475 11.2474 14.9223 12.3726C13.7971 13.4979 12.2709 14.13 10.6796 14.13Z\" fill=\"#fff\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"practice-search-use-my-location\">\n\t\t\tSearch near me\n\t\t<\/button>\n\n\n\t<\/form>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<h2><b>3. Vision problems of children in foster care<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Robert H. Duckman, Professor of Optometry at the State University of New York and a specialist in pediatric optometry, discussed his research on vision problems in foster care children in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>The results were sobering:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Over 34% of the children had vision problems which had previously gone undiagnosed.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Over 29% of the children had three to seven different visual problems.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Only 16.5% of the 351 children he tested had no visual problems.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Dr. Duckman said that it is clear that the screening now being provided to this population is not sufficiently identifying children with moderate or severe visual problems.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Weissbourd, a lecturer at HGSE and founder of Read Boston, brought a public policy perspective to the discussion. He noted that vision problems in learning need to get on policymakers&#8217; radar screens: &#8220;In my experience, policymakers [concerned with]&#8230;reading don&#8217;t talk about vision much; practitioners do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr Weissbourd suggested that researchers gather more solid evidence that test scores will improve if children are given glasses and visual therapy as needed, and that addressing visual problems would be a better or more efficient use of resources than other strategies to improve student achievement and learning.<\/p>\n<p>The forum ended with a wide-ranging Q&amp;A and policy discussion. Among other topics, participants discussed how providing adequate visual correction services to more students might reduce the number of children in special education, and how certain services and research projects might be funded through Medicaid and Title I funds.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Gary Orfield concluded by noting that research findings suggest that:<\/p>\n<p><b>Making visual services and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/what-is-vision-therapy\/\">vision therapy<\/a> more readily available would reduce achievement and learning difficulties in poor children<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>He urged concerned constituencies to work together to promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-evidence-based-published-research\/\">recent studies in vision therapy<\/a> and bring that data to the attention of policymakers. &#8220;Today&#8217;s event has been a good step in that direction,&#8221; Orfield said.<\/p>\n<h3><b>About the conference<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The \u2018Visual Problems of Children in Poverty and Their Interference with Learning\u2019 conference was sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Massachusetts Society of Optometrists, and the New England College of Optometry.<\/p>\n<p>The conference papers will be published soon by the Journal of Behavioral Optometry and the Journal of Optometry and Vision Development.
